I think the teacher's concerns were more religious than practical and I'm not at all sure that the boys were aware of the genitalia of this person or that they actually were caught with "their pants down."
I can fully appreciate the awkward situation this teacher was placed in, as well as the boys who were caught with "their pants down," when this "girl" walked into the boy's locker room.
Should they also be told that there are gay children in the school? Shall we play "guess who's trans" among the students? That's a fun game.
As a parent, I think any school district who enacts transgender policies without notifying the parents, should be condemned.
School Board attorney Dennis Alfonso said he received a letter from the Liberty Counsel in late September outlining the concerns. He responded that he would consult federal law, rule and court precedent to ensure the district was acting appropriately.
"This is an area of law that is somewhat fluid," Alfonso said. "We have tried as a district to treat each individual student’s rights on a case-by-case basis, based on the guidance available at the time."
Over the summer, he noted, two Florida school districts received rulings making clear that transgender students should be treated as any others, and should not be subjected to harassment or discrimination.

It's not nearly as cut and dried as some wish it to be.

Did we read the same article? You do know we are talking about a girl with female genitals using the boys locker room?
Oh, sorry. Where is the picture???
Does World Net Daily tell you something? I remember when Moderators used to scoff at such sources.
Help me out, what makes you so certain in your specific gender assignment of this individual?
What have you sacrificed in the culture war? your integrity? Objectivity? Intelligent skepticism?
What have you willingly given up for team red?
Who cares? Right? Only a child struggling to find their place in a world that is increasingly trumpian-intolerant of who they are.
Let me be clear..Eff you and everyone that comes for her kind. They belong to America and it's 250 + year promise of tolerance. America has her back.

I see.
When all else fails, blame the source for making things up.

Did this person disrobe in view of anyone?

"People are people so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
So we're different colours
And we're different creeds"
????
So up to 5% of the population has the unfortunate reality of falling on the "indeterminate" spectrum of sex when born.
Thus doctors "Assign" sex and often recommend infant surgery to meet their assignation.
How about we show a little humanity toward those of us that were shoved down a path their natural instincts strongly disagree with? Maybe we engage in a little sympathy or empathy and not declare them a freak show?
There is a new age coming and it has less tolerance for intolerance. You are welcome to fight for intolerance and comfortable hate, but you will deny your stance when history shames you. I recommend (for as little it is worth to you) being a hero not the villain when the future looks back.
I would like citations for your statements.

You want to see naked pictures of children for proof and you say Trump says horrific things?
That's one of the most horrific requests I've ever seen a member here ask. Doesn't get more horrific. Seek help!!

The assumed answer is yes. Do you find it hard to recognize what people do in a locker room?
Oh, sorry. Where is the picture???

Weird you are still obsessed with pictures.
Bottom line the Op says girl pretending to be a boy.
If you don't know that to be true, then what you are doing is imagining things.
I'd rather trust that any teenager willing to subject themselves to assholes like you is telling the truth.
Eff off unless you know different.
I will defend those that find the courage to stand up to assholes any day of the week and twice on sunday.
Believe it or not that aint even political, it's just a humanity thing.
So see you on the other side of your culture war. I don't think it ends how you think it does.

I just asked for proof of the OPs claim that this was a girl posing as a boy.
Damn though, it appears to be an ants nest of right-wing-nut-job perverts around here obsessed with imagery of teenagers in transition.
you can hopefully deal with that on your own in some therapy or otherwise healthy way, but I'd rather have no part in your abhorrent imaginations.
